AliExpress is an online store through which Chinese individuals and companies sell their products to foreign consumers.

Jack Ma founded the Alibaba Group on April 4, 1999, from which AliExpress.com emerged in 2010. In contrast to Alibaba, AliExpress is more focused on retail. The buyer buys directly from the manufacturer, with few intermediaries, which limits the selling price for the consumer. AliExpress offers its online platform as a marketplace and does not sell any products itself.
